‘The events were shameful criminal violence, all of those things, but did not qualify as insurrection as that term is used in Section Three,’ Trump lawyer educates SCOTUS justice.

Watch the clip in question:

Jonathan Mitchell: “We didn’t conceded that it’s an effort to overthrow the government either…this was a a riot. It was not an insurrection.” pic.twitter.com/dq7gEX9au5
